Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook
Nastiness must be nailed down to the floor and never permitted to persevere
in its rages of ruin. Dade County was by and large protected well by your unwavering nature, Officer Cook. Goodwill and charm can only travel as far as honesty, dignity and integrity breathe humbly. You'll always be held in high regard, Officer Cook, never one to dodge from a dilemma. That day was quite serious with many vulnerable souls to watch over. Our Maker watches over you and your specially virtuous soul and spirit. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
